This game will almost certainly be moved to Yankee Stadium with the Yankees missing the playoffs.
I much prefer Yankee Stadium over Citi Field. That being said, both are better than RBA.

If you are a season ticket holder who opted out of Red Bull Arena games, I think you need to buy for this one.
Yup, I checked everywhere and no emails or mentions on the site or in the app. So I bought one in 135 row 6 for $7 since I had credits left over from my opt-outs. Not a bad deal, but would have been nice if the club emailed the opt-outers before making any announcements, ya know? Happy to be going to the match, but some still (as always it seems) a little annoyed with the club LOL
couldn't they do like 7:30pm?!?!? sabbath ends at 7:20ish then. They always schedule saturday night games JUST before sundown. major ugh.
I think this has been the standard for Decision Day for a while. East Conference games at 6 ET, West Conference at 9 ET. Tough for you but I get the TV and media logic.
I mean I get it, but it's still super frustrating.
The club wants to prioritize Citi Field going forward. Not sure what other factors, commitments, developments impact it, but in a vacuum they'd probably move all their games to Citi.
Personally, I would love this. There just seems to be a better atmosphere around Citi Field than over in the Bronx. Maybe I'm mistaken but viewed from up here that very much seems to be the case, both for the squad and for the supporters.
Plus, Flushing Meadows/Corona Park is our home now anyway. The more time we spend there, the better.
I got an email saying that I had to opt back in within 48hours to keep my normal citi seats and they would charge my card on file (-minus any credits I had)
When they published the announcement I looked for an email. Finding none, I reread the announcement and saw that tickets went on sale at 2pm. So I signed into my account and was surprised to see that my seat was not available. Already? So fast? So I bought another seat 2 rows back. While I was doing that they sent out the email telling me they were holding my seat for me.
So we are leaving YS because the Yankees blocked the BX stadium, to start paying rent to the guy who is trying to block our Queens stadium. That seems very on point for our FO.
Same with me. The original announcement said "on sale at 2pm" so I bought a ticket on my own. Then two hours later I got the email saying we could re-buy our seats and that tickets wouldn't go on sale to the public for a couple of days.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
why YS over citi? Legends and pitch side? cause for the rest of us, citi is so much better!I much prefer Yankee Stadium over Citi Field. That being said, both are better than RBA.

Yes, the Pitchside and Legends experience is much better at Yankee Stadium. I'll also say personally it's a much shorter journey and just one train/subway versus two.
The behind-the-goal seating is also better at Yankee Stadium. The netting at Citi Field is much bigger and harder to see through if you're in the low rows.
At Yankee, those sections under the supporters' section is great, and the 200 level behind the first-base goal is right on top of the action.
Parking, concessions, entrance is all better at Citi, leaving is better at Yankee. I probably prefer Citi Field all things considered, but I feel like it's harder to find a good seat at a good price than it is at Yankee Stadium.
